Rashida Tlaib’s Grandmother Calls For Allah To ‘Ruin’ Trump After The Congresswoman Backs Out Of Israel Trip

The media wasted no time in tracking down Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s grandmother in the West Bank so she could demonize President Trump and Israel. The grandmother said on Saturday that she hopes Allah will “ruin” President Trump after the congresswoman made the decision to forgo her own trip to Israel over the country’s “racist” policies. That was after she was granted permission to visit her grandmother. It’s all a setup to make Israel and Trump look bad.

“I was so happy that she was coming,” Muftia Tlaib, 90, told Reuters. “Everyone was excited that she was coming for her grandmother to see her.” They were going to bond over a slaughtered sheep and figs. A real family reunion. Then for dessert, they were going to promote the BDS movement and hatred for Israel.

Tlaib was to accompany Congresswoman Ilhan Omar on a four-day trip to Israel set for next week. The duo was to meet Palestinian groups that seek the destruction of Israel and have ties to terrorist groups. Israel denied the visa for that visit on Thursday, triggering a hysterical response from senior Democrats and the mainstream media.

“[T]he itinerary of the two congresswomen reveals that the sole purpose of their visit is to harm Israel and increase incitement against it,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. “In addition, the organization that is funding their trip is Miftah, which is an avid supporter of BDS, and among whose members are those who have expressed support for terrorism against Israel.”

The Palestinian organization sponsoring their trip, Miftah, has a history of spreading anti-Semitism and incitement, research done by the watchdog group NGO Monitor shows. The organization is funded by several EU countries and the United Nations.

“The Israeli government announced on Thursday that it would deny entry to Tlaib and fellow progressive Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) over their advocacy of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which seeks to punish Israel by politically and economically depriving the country.

“Accordingly, the Israeli Knesset enacted anti-BDS legislation in 2017 that enables the government to block foreign activists from traveling to the country.

“The Israeli government further advised Tlaib to file a special humanitarian request in order to visit Israel and see her family, which Tlaib subsequently did. In a letter sent to Israel’s Interior Minister Ayre Deri, the Michigan congresswoman expressed the importance of visiting her aging grandmother and vowed not to promote any boycotts against the Jewish state during her trip.

“After her humanitarian request was granted, Tlaib announced that she would not be traveling to Israel, and thereby abstain from seeing her grandmother, due to the country’s “oppressive [and] racist policies.”

“Silencing me [and] treating me like a criminal is not what she wants for me. It would kill a piece of me,” she said. “I have decided that visiting my grandmother under these oppressive conditions stands against everything I believe in – fighting against racism, oppression [and] injustice.”

“After reports surfaced on Wednesday that Deri was slated to block Tlaib and Omar entry into Israel, President Trump commended the reported news.

“It would show great weakness if Israel allowed Rep. Omar and Rep. Tlaib to visit. They hate Israel [and] all Jewish people, [and] there is nothing that can be said or done to change their minds,” Trump said. “Minnesota and Michigan will have a hard time putting them back in office. They are a disgrace!”

Israel was very respectful & nice to Rep. Rashida Tlaib, allowing her permission to visit her “grandmother.” As soon as she was granted permission, she grandstanded & loudly proclaimed she would not visit Israel. Could this possibly have been a setup? Israel acted appropriately!

“He later slammed Tlaib’s decision to “obnoxiously” turn down the special waiver that Israel had granted, despite “desperately wanting to visit her grandmother.”

“A complete setup. Only real winner here is Tlaib’s grandmother,” Trump said. “She doesn’t have to see her now!”

“Trump tells me I should be happy Rashida is not coming,” Muftia Tlaib responded to the president. “May God ruin him.”

Rep. Tlaib wrote a letter to Israeli officials desperately wanting to visit her grandmother. Permission was quickly granted, whereupon Tlaib obnoxiously turned the approval down, a complete setup. The only real winner here is Tlaib’s grandmother. She doesn’t have to see her now!

“Tlaib’s uncle, Bassam, told Reuters that the pair had not seen each other since 2006 and that they expected it to be the last meeting before her grandmother dies.

“She was going to slaughter a sheep when Rashida arrived and prepare her favorite food, stuffed vine leave,” Bassam said. “Rashida sees her granny as a second mother, she has always supported her. Rashida says she owes her success to her grandmother.”‘

Silencing me & treating me like a criminal is not what she wants for me. It would kill a piece of me. I have decided that visiting my grandmother under these oppressive conditions stands against everything I believe in–fighting against racism, oppression & injustice. https://t.co/z5t5j3qk4H

If Tlaib loves her grandmother so, has not seen her in 13 years and she is about to die, why cancel the trip? Could politics be more important than family here? Of course, it is.

This was meant to make Israel look cruel and Trump to look like an intolerant tyrant. It was meant to garner sympathy for Palestinians and the BDS movement and hatred towards Israel. It’s a sham through and through.

Like it or not, Tlaib and Omar are fast becoming the face of the Democrat Party. Cortez (AOC) is fuming, not happy about this!

My sity wanted to pick figs w/ me. I broke down reading this & worry every single day after I won for my family's safety. My cousin was texting me which photo of @IlhanMN & I they should put on a welcoming poster when I heard the news. I couldn't tell her.https://t.co/TneIQHwDgO

When I won, it gave the Palestinian people hope that someone will finally speak the truth about the inhumane conditions. I can't allow the State of Israel to take away that light by humiliating me & use my love for my sity to bow down to their oppressive & racist policies. https://t.co/OYIwExV0ga

Statement from @RashidaTlaib: “My family and I have cried together throughout this ordeal…It is with their strength and heart that I reiterate I am a duly elected United States Congresswoman and I will not allow the Israeli government to humiliate me and my family.” pic.twitter.com/EBlxbiU03h
